Hello! Sorry for the long wait, but I was up in Canada... without my computer. Well, it's my seventh day of high-school as a freshman, and I just got my laptop back, so I am in the mood to write! I've decided I will get five more chapters up before this story turns a year old. Which is in a month or two maybe? So, I'll be working hard on this one, instead of my Lion King story.
Well, enough rambling! Enjoy this chapter!
'How the hell did Sal manage this?' Zea thought, shocked. She slowly sat up, aware of a sharp pain in her arm. She looked around, seeing a glowing pile of embers that was once a fire, a large two-headed dragon, and one ugly little green thing. 'Eww. Jaken. I'm glad I saw Sesshomaru before I saw him.'
She once again locked eyes with Sesshomaru. He didn't look away.
After a while, Sesshomaru seemed to grow slightly annoyed. Zea instantly changed to a confused face, wondering how she annoyed the demon lord already. Sesshomaru sighed, then spoke.
"Do not look directly in this Sesshomaru's eyes, ningen." Zea was surprised, then her eyes flashed with rebellion and her face twisted into a smirk.
"That's too bad, eh Sesshomaru-sama?" She said, twisting his title to sound like a mockery, not with any of the respect he deserved. Sesshomaru didn't dignify that with a response, just continued to stare her down. Zea glared right back at him.
After a while, the bundle at Zea's side stirred. Sesshomaru broke eye-contact for just a moment to look at the awakening Rin, only realizing his mistake after he saw the triumphant smirk on the red-head's lips. He simply kept looking at Rin, and anyone less adept than Zea was at reading people would assume that he forgot about her. However she could tell that he was upset.
'Since when does Sesshomaru get upset? Maybe the manga doesn't portray his emotions very well, or maybe he's been replaced by Naraku, or maybe... I should enjoy this chance to be close to the hottest demon in this series and not be dead. It was probably Rin that puppy-eyed him into keeping us..' As Zea got completely lost in the inner workings of her mind, Sesshomaru had similar thoughts.., well, in the beginning, at least.
'Why am I so upset that the ningen won't respect me?' He wondered. Then he mentally shook his head, filing the thought away for later, if he happened to remember it. His eyes sharpened on Rin when she and the other girl yawned, announcing their arrival to the world of the conscious.
Sesshomaru figured that today would be a normal day, plus two more annoyances. He would soon figure out that today, or any other day in his life, would be anything but normal.
